Make The Christmas Wise Men with Super Sculpey and Air Dry Clay

In this video I start making one of the Wise Men from the Christmas story. This is a mixed-media sculpture, using Super Sculpey for the head (and maybe the turban), my Silky-Smooth Air Dry Clay recipe for the clothes, and probably Magic Sculpt for his feet and ankles to make him stand up nice and straight on his wooden base.

If you'd like to see more figure sculpting videos in the future, be sure to hit the 'like' button to let me know. And I promise I'll try to get more of the next video in focus - that's always a big challenge for me when working on something this small.

I mentioned a few links in the video, and here they are:
